This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help.

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe.

1700  to  1835.  Aghada,  Corkbeg,  Inch,  Rostellan,  and  Titeskin, 
were  held  as  the  union  of  Aghada,  in  commendam  with  the 
Bishoprick  of  Cloyne,  until  the  death  of  Bishop  Brinkley,  on 
14th  September,  1835. 

The  following  account  of  the  manner  in  which  Aghada  was 
granted  to  the  Bishops  of  Cloyne,  is  taken  from  the  manuscripts 
of  Bishop  Bennet :— 


▲GHADA.  [OLOTKB. 

"  The  revenues  of  the  bishoprick  appear  to  have  been  at  a 
yery  low  ebb  in  1698,  soon  after  the  succession  of  Bp.  Pooley 
to  the  see.  The  long  lease  of  sixty  years  awarded  by  Bram- 
liall  to  the  Fitzgerald  &mily  was  not  yet  expired ;  and,  indeed, 
the  time  of  its  expiring  was  a  subject  of  dread  rather  than 
hope,  as  bringing  the  certainty  of  a  suit  at  law  along  with  it. 
Lord  Inchiqnin  claimed  to  hold  the  best  farms  on  that  estate, 
not  under  that  lease,  but  in  his  own  right,  as  heir  to  the  Fitz- 
geralds.  The  fine  estate  of  Ealmaclenin,  with  those  of  Inchi- 
quin,  Eilvagh,  and  Chor  Abbey,  were  entirely  lost,  and  that  of 
iBallybane,  tho'  the  right  of  the  see  to  it  had  been  often  allowed, 
was  in  a  hopeless  state.  The  markets,  mill,  and  other  rights 
of  the  manor  were  a  daily  subject  of  dispute.  And,  to  com- 
plete  the  whole,  all  hopes  of  Donoghmore  were  just  extinguished 
by  the  determination  of  the  Commissioners  against  the  claim 
of  the  church.  The  whole  estate  of  the  bishoprick,  both 
spiritual  and  temporal,  produced  no  more  than  £500  per  an. ; 
and  with  this  expensive  law  suits  were  to  be  maintained 
against  Lord  Inchiquin,  Sir  St.  John  Broderick,  Colonel  Corker, 
of  Ballymaloe,  and  others,  some  of  which  suits  had  been  run- 
ning on  for  near  thirty  years. 

"  Under  these  circumstances  Bishop  Pooley,  who  was  always 
attentive  to  the  interests  of  his  see,  was  encouraged  to  petition 
the  £arl  of  Rochester,  then  Lord  Lieutenant,  stating  that  Cloyne 
was  the  worst  endowed  of  all  the  Irish  Bishopricks,  so  that 
before  1641,  the  Wardenship  of  Toughal  had  been  added  to  it 
to  make  up  for  its  deficiency  of  revenue  ;  that  since  that  period 
the  see  had  been  deprived  of  some  very  considerable  estates  - 
that  in  parallel  cases  in  the  English  Church  it  was  uaxisA  to 
permit  a  Bishop  to  hold  in  commendam  some  other  fit  ecclesi- 
astical preferment ;  and  that  the  union  of  Aghada  which  was 
adjoining  and  convenient  to  the  Bishop's  place  of  residence, 
being  now  vacant  by  the  death  of  Mr.  John  Mascall,  and  in 
the  sole  gift  of  the  Bishop  himself,  he  humbly  prayed  his  Ma- 
jesty to  sdlow  the  said  union  of  Aghada  to  be  held  in  commen- 
dam with  the  bishoprick  of  Cloyne,  as  it  might  seem  good  to 
hiB  royal  pleasure.  This  petition  of  the  Bishop  was  granted, 
and  he  became  B.ector  of  the  union  of  Aghada,  consisting  of  the 
rectories  and  vicarages  of  Aghada,  Corkbeg,  Rostillan,  Tites- 
kin,  and  Inch,  which  has  now  gone  with  the  see  for  upwards 
of  100  years. 

"  By  the  judicious  improvement  of  this  fortunate  opportunity, 
Bp.  Pooley  laid  the  foundation  of  an  increasing  revenue  to  the 
Bishops  of  Cloyne,  which  has  made  more  than  amends  for  all 
the  estates  they  have  lost.  The  commodious  situation  of  the 
union,  which  includes  almost  the  whole  peninsula  between 
Cloyne  and  the  sea,  and  the  rise  from  the  increase  of  tillage 
in  all  the  livings  in  the  south  of  Ireland,  has  made  it  produc-

tire  liejond  any  idea  thai  could  have  been  formed  at  the  time. 
In  1700,  when  first  held  with  the  see,  it  was  worth  about  £400 
per  annum ;  in  the  time  of  Bp.  Agar,  1767,  it  rose  to  £800  ; 
in  1793  Bp.  Woodward  had  increased  it  to  £1,100  ;  Bp.  Bennet, 
in  1801,  made  of  it  full  £2,000  ;  and  ten  or  twelve  years  after 
it  was  valued  by  the  Proctor  at  £3,400.'* 

1710.  9th  Anne,  chapter  12,  sec.  7.  A  new  parish  church 
is  to  be  built  in  a  more  convenient  place,  at  Aghada,  in  Gloyne.

the  preceptory  of  Moume,  and  is  chargeable  with  15«.  per  an.

of  the  poorest  blind  and  maimed  objects  who  shall  reside  near 
to  my  present  place  of  residence."  In  March,  1794,  £120 
(12  years  arrears  of  this  annuity)  were  paid  by  the  executor, 
Mr.  Wallis  Adams,  of  Kilbre.  Besides  the  ten  pounds,  nine

**  Id  1813,  some  business  relatire  to  this  liying  of  Aghada 
happening  to  come  before  the  Privy  Council,  the  Grown

Atkin  Hayman  (fifth  son  of  Samuel  Hayman,  esq.,  of  The 
College,  Youghal,  by  Elisabeth,  eldest  dau.  and  co-heiress  of 
Richard  Paradise,  esq.,  a  French  Protestant  refugee)  was  bom 
at  Youghal,  on  11th  June,  1714,  and  entered  T.C.D.  as  a 
Pensioner  on  6th  July,  1733,  and  graduated  in  1738. 

He  was  ordained  Deacon,  on  2l8t  December,  1740,  and  Priest, 
on  15th  March,  1741,  by  Bishop  Berkeley,  at  Cloyne.  On  22nd 
December,  1741,  he  was  licensed  to  the  curacy  of  Middleton, 
which  he  held  until  1753.  From  1753  to  1764,  he  was  Curate 
of  Youghal.  In  1754  he  was  appointed  Chaplain  to  the  Earl 
of  Hillsborough.  From  1759  to  1764,  he  was  R.  V.  Carrigro- 
hanebeg,  and  from  1764  to  his  death,  on  13th  April,  1793,  was 
V.  Ballyclogh  and  Castlemagner. 

He  married,  firstly,  in  June,  1742,  his  cousin,  Elisabeth, 
youngest  dau.  of  Rev.  Walter  Atkin  (Treasurer  of  Cloyne,  q.  v.); 
and  by  her  (who  was  buried  in  the  Atkin  family  vault,  at 
Middleton,  on  30th  January,  1756,)  had  issue  &Ye  ^ons  and 
three  daughters.  Three  of  the  sons  died  infants,  and  one  (the 
third  eldest,  Walter  Atkins  Hayman)  died  without  legitimate 
issue.  All  the  daughters  died  unmarried.  Samuel,  his  fourth 
son,  succeeded  to  the  family  inheritance,  much  diminished  by 
the  alienation  of  the  greater  part  thereof  to  the  illegitimate 
issue  of  his  brother  Walter.  Samuel  was  bom  in  1753,  and  in 
1779  took  out  a  diploma  at  Edinburgh  as  a  Physician.  He 
married,  in  1782,  Melian,  dau.  and  co-heiress  of  Matthew  Jones, 
esq..  Collector,  of  Youghal,  and  by  her  had  issue,  inter  alios, 
a  son,  Matthew  Hayman,  heir  to  his  father,  who  was  bom  in 
1789,  and  married,  in  1816,  Helen,  second  dau.  of  Arundel 
Hill,  esq.,  of  Doneraile.  By  this  marriage  Matthew  Hayman 
had  issue,  inter  alios,  an  eldest  son,  Samuel  Hayman,  now 
Rector  of  Ardnegihy,  Cork,  q.  v. 

The  Rev.  Atkin  Hayman,  V.  BaDyclogh,  on  12th  Augnst,

1757f  married  a  second  wife,  Elisabeth,  dau.  of  Frank  Wilson, 
esq.,  of  Youghal,  but  bad  bj  her,  who  was  buried  in  Youghal, 
on  6th  Oct.,  1776,  no  issue. 

The  family  of  Hayman,  Hejman,  or  Aymon  (as  the  name  is 
spelled  in  the  well-Kuown  early  French  romance — *'  ffistoire 
dea  quaJtre  JUs  Ayrrums^  tres- Nobles  et  tres-vaillans  Chevaliers**) 
is  of  undoubted  antiquity.  Sir  B.  Burke,  in  bis  Landed  Gentry 
(article  Hatman,  of  Youghal)  gives  the  £amily  a  Norman  origin, 
and  describes  their  genealogical  roll  as  embracing  a  period  of 
more  than  nine  centuries.  He  traces  them  downwards,  gene- 
ration after  generation,  from  the  year  931  to  the  present  time. 
Deeds,  wills,  and  family  letters,  from  the  reign  of  Charles  L, 
are  in  the  muniment  chest  of  Rev.  Samuel  Hayman,  the  repre- 
sentative of  the  Irish  branch,  who  is  sixth  in  descent  from 
George  Heyman,  or  Hayman,  of  Minehead,  Somersetshire,  who 
migrated  to  Ireland  in  1629.  George  Heyman  was  grandson 
of  Robert  or  Roger  Heyman,  who,  to  avoid  religious  persecu- 
tion in  Queen  Mary's  reign,  fled  from  Kent,  and  found  refuge 
in  the  west  of  England,  where  numerous  lines,  owing  their 
origin  to  him,  may  yet  be  found.  A  baronetcy  of  the  creation, 
12th  August,  1641,  existed  in  the  parent  house,  in  Kent,  until 
20th  Nov.,  1808,  when  the  Rev.  Sib  Hbnbt  Fix  Hetman,  the 
fifth  baronet,  expired  without  issue  male.  (Vide  Burke's 
Extinct  BaronetcifS,  article  Hetman  of  Somebfibld  ) 

The  Rev.  Atkin  Hayman  left  numerous  sermons  in  manu- 
script, and  an  account  of  the  Diocese  of  Oloyne  in  1762,  which 
are  in  the  possession  of  Rev.  Samuel  Hayman,  of  Ardnegihy.

''  In  this  town,  the  first  Earl  of  Orrery  endowed  a  celebrated 
free  school,  who,  although  he  had  great  offices  and  a  plentiful 
estate,  yet  his  soul  seemed  much  larger  than  his  fortune.  The 
master  has  an  house  and  £40  per  an.  salary. 

**  The  late  Earl  of  Orrery  gave  15  acres  of  land,  worth  £1 1 
per  an.,  for  the  encouragement  of  a  charter  working  school, 
near  this  town,  erected  for  the  reception  of  40  children.  The 
building  cost  £350  ;  it  was  opened  on  the  18th  of  April,  1748, 
and  20  children,  10  of  each  sex,  admitted,  being  completely 
clothed.  On  the  following  Sunday  a  sermon  was  preached  on 
the  occasion,  by  the  Rer.  Dean  Bruce,  who  gave  the  children 
bibles  and  other  useful  books,  and  a  subscription  to  the  school. 
The  house  properly  supplied  with  necessaries  ;  the  kitchen 
and  potato  gardens  are  well  planted ;  the  land  enclosed  with 
quickset  hedges,  and  ornamented  with  trees. 

'*  In  this  towQ  is  a  decent  parish  church,  erected  by  the  first 
Lord  Orrery .*•     [Smith's  Cork,  vol.  i.,  p.  304.] 

Jonathan  Bruce  was  descended  from  Sia  Ah  drew  Bruob,  of 
Earlshall,  in  Scotland  {vide  Robertson's  Baronage  of  Scotland), 
who,  by  his  wife  Helen,  dau.  of  Patrick,  7th  Lord  Grbt,  had 
issue  inter  aiio%  a  second  son,  Alexander  Bruce.  This  Alexander 
was  a  steady  loyalist,  and  was  taken  prisoner  by  the  Parliamen- 
tarians at  the  battle  of  Worcester,  in  1651.  He  came  to 
Ireland,  and  settled  in  Bandon,  county  Cork,  in  1654.  He 
married  Mary,  dau.  of  Captain  Brookes,  of  the  '^Swallow"  Sloop  of 
War,  and  niece  of  Jonathan  Saul,  esq.  Bj  her  he  had  issue 
a  son,  Saul  Bruce,  esq.,  who  was  twice  Provost  of  Bandon. 
Saul  married  Mary,  dau.  of  George  Crofts,  esq.,  of  Church  town, 
county  Cork,  and  by  her  had  five  sons  and  two  daughters,  11 
of  whom  died  without  issue,  except  the  second  son,  Jonathan, 
who  was  P.  Ballyhay. 

Jonathan  (the  last  named)  was  bom  in  county  Cork,  in  1681, 
and  when  seventeen  years  old,  was  entered  a  Pensioner  of 
T.C.D.  on  19th  January,  1698;  and  became  a  Scholar  in  1702, 
and  graduated  subsequently  a.m.  and  d.d. 

He  was  ordained  Deacon  on  23rd  Sept,  1705,  and  Priest  on 
29th  Oct.,  1710,  both  at  Cloyne. 

From  1708  to  1729  he  was  Curate  of  Kilbolane.  Prom  1709 
to  1758  he  was  R  Aglishdrinagh,  and  Y.  Shandrum  and  Rath- 
gogan.  Prom  1710  to  1736,  P.  Cooline.  On  11th  Sept.,  1714, 
he  was  licensed  to  the  curacy  of  Ballyhay  and  Imphric.   From

1719  to  1758  he  was  P.  Ballyhay  and  R.  V.  Ardskeagli.  From 
1721  to  1758  he  was  K  Shandrum,  and  from  1724  to  his 
death,  at  Charleville,  on  27th  August,  1758,  was  Dean  of 
Eilfenora. 

He  married  in  1709  [M.L.  Cloyne,  20th  April]  Mary,  dan. 
of  Rev.  Lewis  Prythergh,  P.  Effin,  Limerick,  and  by  her  had 
issue  eight  sons  and  three  daughters,  Mary,  wife  of  Samuel 
Hobson,  esq.,  of  Youghal ;  Sarah,  wife  of  R«uben  Roberts,  esq., 
of  CharleviUe ;  and  GEitherine,  Mrs.  de  la  Hoyde. 

The  Dean's  eldest  son,  Lewis,  was  born  at  CharleviUe,  in 
1710,  and  in  1725,  when  sixteen  years  old,  entered  T.C.D.  He 
was  afterwards  d.d.  He  was  ordained  Priest  on  23rd  Sept.,  1 734, 
at  Cloyne,  for  the  curacy  of  Rathgogan ;  was  Chaplain  in  ordi- 
nary to  His  Majesty  for  Somerset  House,  and  was  V.  Rainham, 
county  Essex,  from  1759  to  1779.  He  married,  in  1738, 
Elisabeth  Roberts,  of  CharleviUe,  [Cloyne,  M.B.,]  by  whom  he 
had  issue  a  daughter,  Mary-Elisabeth,  who  was  privately  bap- 
tised in  1 739.  [CharleviUe  parish  register.]  He  appears  to  have

All  these  livings  and  curacies  he  held  until  his  death,  which 
took  place  early  in  the  year  1670. 

Mr.  Alford's  will,  made  probably  shortly  before  his  death, 
was  lost  by  his  executor;  but  a  draft  of  it  was  attested  on  6th 
June,  1670,  and  proved  17th  June,  same  year.  By  this  will 
Alford  seems  to  have  had  no  issue,  if  he  had  ever  married ;  for 
he  leaves  legacies  to  servants,  and  the  remainder  of  his  bills, 
books,  and  miscellaneous  effects  to  all  his  brothers  and  sisters 
in  England  who  may  prove  their  claims,  in  equal  portions. 
This  will  is  the  earliest  of  those  made  by  clergymen  which

feet  below  the  surface,  it  appeared  evidently  to  rest  on  a  square 
foundation,  in  one  of  the  angles  of  which  was  built  up  the  frag-

Gustavus  Wybrants  was  descended  from  Joseph  Peter  Wy- 
brants, who  came  from  Antwerp  to  Dublin  in  1G22,  and  was 
naturalized  in  1623.  He  is  thought  to  have  returned  to  Hol- 
land, and  to  have  brought  his  wife  and  other  children  to  his 
native  country.  However,  one  of  his  sons,  Peter,  remained  in 
Dublin,  and  left  issue,  [vide  his  will,  dated  7th  August,  and 
proved  21st  Oct.  1639,]  by  his  wife,  Elisabeth,  dau.  of  John 
Rantoq)S,  of  Lyenborgh,  in  Germany,  a  son,  Peter,  who  was, 
in  1658,  Mayor  of  Dublin.  This  last-named  Peter  married 
Sarah,  dau.  of  Bartholomew  Drope,  of  London,  and  died  intes- 
tate, leaving  (besides  a  son,  Peter,  to  whom  administration 
of  his  father*s  effects  was  granted  on  7th  Nov.  1699),  a  son, 
Bartholomew,  who  was  father  to  Rev.  Peter  Wybrants,  who 
married  Margaret,  dau.  of  Rev.  Steplien  Handcock,  Dean  of 
Clonmacnoise.  The  children  of  this  marriage  wore  three 
daughters — Hannah,  wife  of  Rev.  Daniel  Mathews  ;  Anne,  and 
Elisabeth  ;  besides  a  son,  Stephen,  who  married,  in  1752,  Alicia 
Cane.  This  Stephen  last  named  had  issue,  besides  eight  child- 
ren, who  died  unmarried,  Peter  (eldest  son)  who  marrie<l  Martha 
Burton,  and  had  issue  a  daughter,  Maria-Jane,  and  two  other 
children,  both  dead;  Robert  (second  son)  who,  by  his  wife, 
Christiana  Browne,  had  issue,  Robert,  now  of  47,  Rutland-

Arthur  Champagne  was  a  descendant  of  the  ancient  family  of 
De  Robillard,  of  Saintonge,  in  France.  His  more  immediate 
ancestor  was  the  Chevalier  Josias  de  Robillard,  Seigneur  de 
Champagne,  in  the  parish  of  Torc^,  in  Saintonge,  who  left  that 
place  at  the  revocation  of  the  edict  of  Nantes,  and  became  a 
Captain  in  Scravenmore's  dragoons.  He  was  deputed  by  the 
Huguenot  officers  of  William's  army  to  represent  their  suffer- 
ings and  privations  to  government,  and  for  that  purpose  re- 
mained in  London  after  the  departure  of  his  companions  for 
Ireland.  The  efforts  he  made  to  come  up  with  his  regiment, 
and  the  fatigue  he  underwent,  brought  on  so  severe  an  illness, 
that  he  died  in  Belfast,  in  October,  1688.  He  took  the  name  of 
Champagne  instead  of  de  Robillard,  according  to  the  practice 
of  all  refugees  of  landed  property,  who  adopted  generally  their 
territorial  designation  in  place  of  the  patronymic. 

His  wife  was  Marie  de  la  Roohefoucauld,  a  daughter  of  that 
great  ducal  house,  and  her  genealogy  can  be  traced  in  an  unbroken 
line  from  "  vir  illustrissimus  et  potentissimus  Fulcandus  de 
Castro  qui  rocatur  Rocha,**  otherwise  "de  Rupe  Fulcandus," of 
the  11th  century.  By  this  lady,  who  was  buried  at  Portar- 
lington,  the  Chevalier  had  issue  two  sons,  Josias  and  Augustus; 
and  a  daughter,  Susanne,  wife  of  the  Baron  Tonnay-boutonne 
et  de  St.  Surin,  and  mother  by  him,  of  Henri  Auguste,  Baron 
de  la  Motte  Fouque,  the  celebrated  Prussian  General  under 
Frederick  the  Great,  grandfather  of  Baron  de  la  Motte  Fouque, 
the  distinguished  German  writer  of  romance. 

The  Chevalier's  eldest  son,  Josias,  accompanied  his  parent  in 
his  exile,  and  was  Ensign  in  La  Mcllionier's  regiment  at  the 
Buyne  when  but  seventeen  years  old,  where  ho  so  distin-

gnished  himself  that  he  was  appoiDted  Aide-de-camp  to  the 
Lord  Lieatenant,  and  afterwards  attained  the  rank  of  Major  in 
the  army.  This  Major  Josias  Champagne  married  Jane,  the 
eldest  daughter  of  Arthur  Forhes,  second  Earl  of  Oranard,  and 
had  issue  by  her  an  only  son,  Arthur  Champagne  (bom  1714, 
died  1800)  who  was  in  holy  orders,  and  held,  among  other 
church  pr^erments,  the  deanery  of  Clonmacnoise. 

Dean  Arthur  Champagne  married  Marianne,  dau.  of  Major 
(afterwards  Colonel)  Isaac  Hamon,  and  by  her,  who  was  buried 
at  Mallow,  county  Cork,  on  22nd  August,  1784,  had  issue 
four  sons  : — 1.  Arthur,  in  holy  orders,  P.  Monnehonnock,  St. 
Patrick's,  Dublin,  and  R.  Cloncah,  Derry.  He  married,  in 
May,  1788,  Mary,  dau.  of  Rev.  Philip  Homan,  of  Siroch,  county 
Westmeath,  and  died  in  1791,  leaving  an  elder  son,  Arthur, 
y.  Castlelyons,  and  a  posthumous  ehild,  Forbes;  2.  George, 
Canon  of  Windsor,  and  Rector  of  Twickenham ;  3.  Forbes,  a 
Brigadier-General ;  4.  General  Sir  Josias,  who  married  Dorcas, 
sister  of  Rev.  Thomas  Brownri gg,  of  Rathdowny,  county  Wick- 
low,  and  Ballydaniel,  county  Wexford,  and  relict  of White, 

esq.  Sir  Josias  left  an  only  child,  Artliur,  of  55,  Harley-street, 
Cavendish-square,  London.  Dean  Champagne  had  also  six 
daughters : — 1.  Jane,  CouifTESS  of  Uxbbidoe  ;  2.  Henrietta, 
wife  of  Sir  Frasmvs  Dixon  Borrgwes,  Baronet ;  3.  Marianne, 
wife  of  Sir  Charles  Des  YiEux,  Bart. ;  4.  Charlotte,  wife 
of  Colonel  William  Armstrong.  5.  Deborah,  wife  of  Rev. 
Samuel  Close,  of  Elm  Park,  county  Armagh ;  6.  Letitia,  wife 
of  George  Stepney,  esq.,  of  Durrow,  King's  county;  and  after 
his  death  wife  of  Edward  Skeffington  Smyth,  esq.,  of  Mount 
Harry,  Queen's  county. 

The  Vicar  of  Castlelyons  had  been  P.  C.  of  Durrow,  Meath, 
before  he  accepted  Castlelyons.  He  was  presented  to  Durrow 
by  his  cousin.  Colonel  Stepney.  He  resigned  Castlelyons  in 
1830,  and  resided  afterwards  in  the  county  Limerick.  Having 
succeeded  to  the  estates  of  his  uncles,  George  and  Forbes,  and 
of  his  brother,  Forbes,  he  died,  unmarried,  in  Dublin,  on  2nd 
Nov.,  1862.

110  CASTRACHORE.  [CLOYNB. 

1709.  "  Besides  an  English  school  for  the  education  of  poor 
children  in  the  Protestant  religion,  there  is  a  public  free  school, 
which  is  an  elegant  bailding,  composed  of  one  main  structure 
and  two  returns,  over  which  was  lately  a  han<Is()me  dome. 
This  school  was  founded,  anno  1709,  by  the  Lady  Elizabeth  . 
Villiers.  She  was  eldest  daughter  of  Sir  Edward  Vifliers,  father 
of  Edward,  Earl  of  Jersey,  and  Maid  of  Honour  to  Queen  Mary 
when  Princess  of  Orange;  and  in  1695  was  married  to  the 
Lord  George  Hamilton,  third  son  of  William,  Duke  of  Hamil- 
ton, afterwards  created  Earl  of  Orkney.  She  expended  a  con- 
siderable sum  of  money  in  building  this  house,  and  settled  a 
good  estate  on  this  endowment  for  the  support  of  a  master, 
two  ubhers'  assistants,  a  writing-master ;  and  £50  a-ycar  for 
scholars  entered  from  this  school  into  the  University  of  Dub- 
lin." 

"She  reserved  for  herself  a  power  to  make  rules  for  the 
governing  this  school.  The  governors  first  appointed  by  the 
charter  were  the  Earls  of  Orkney  and  Inchiquin,  Thomas  Brod- 
rick,  Alan  Brodrick,  and  Samuel  Maynard,  esqrs. ;  Lieutenant 
Peter  Bettesworth,  and  their  respective  heirs,  together  with  the 
Bishop  of  Cork,  and  the  Sovereign  of  Middleton.  They  nomi- 
nate the  master,  who  has  £100  a-year  salary ;  an  usher,  who 
has  £20  per  annum  ;  and  a  writing-master,  £20  per  annum. 
There  is  £10  per  annum  for  repairs  of  the  house  ;  with  the 
sum  of  £50  to  be  distributed  in  exhibitions  to  scholars  (of  this 
house)  in  Dublin  College,  as  the  majority  of  the  governors  shall 
direct,  provided  that  not  more  than  £15  be  paid  to  one  person  ; 
and  if  such  scholars  are  not  to  be  had,  this  money  is  to  go  to 
such  charitable  uses  as  the  governors  shall  direct.  The  estate 
bequeathed  to  this  school  are  the  lands  of  Ballynehortig,  Bally- 
nerequine,  Ballynameuile,  Ballynudagha,  G4  acres  of  Tullagh 
loane,  lying  in  the  barony  of  Kinalea  and  Kerricurihy,  and  all 
the  lands  leased  by  the  late  King  James  to  Sir  Richard  Mead, 
at  the  rent  of  £100  per  annum  ;  the  lands  of  Ballysabeg  and 
Kilgoban,  in  the  barony  of  Carbery,  containing  33 1  dcres  ;  and 
all  other  lands  in  the  said  barony  formerly  set  to  William 
North,  esq.,  by  the  late  King  James,  at  £100  per  an.**  [Smith's 
Cork,  voL  i.  p.  145.] 

"  The  chnrch  is  a  neat  structure,  and  well  pewed,  and  the 
steeple  is  capable  of  holding  a  ring  of  bells.  On  a  white 
marble,  on  the  Gospel  side  of  the  altar,  is  this  inscription  : —

He  also  made  this  singular  bequest,  **  I  have  left  one  thousand

be  won't  restore  a  glebe  of  72  acres  on  demand,  having  made  a 
lease  of  it,  as  1  was  entitled  to  do,  for  21  years." 

He  died  on  the  road-side  in  the  coarse  of  one  of  his  length- 
ened pedestrian  excursions ;  and  his  strong  box,  or  iron  chest, 
was  broken  open  by  some  parties  who  had  it  in  trust,  and  who 
thus  cut  off  all  means  of  recovering  a  great  part  of  his  wealth, 
which  was  supposed  to  be  in  the  funds  under  a  feigned  name.

Thomas  Palmer,  a  lineal  descendant  of  Thomas  Palmer,  of 
Rockingham  (a.d.  1402),  county  Northampton,  had  been  Page 
of  Honour  to  Anne  Htde,  wife  of  James  II.  He  was  Judge  of 
the  Admiralty  Court  of  Munster,  and  of  the  Consistorial  Court 
of  Ardfert  and  Aghadoe,  and  was  the  first  Protestant  Rector  of 
the  crown  livings  of  Eenmare,  Eilgarvan,  Templenoe,  Eil- 
croghan,  and  Cahirciveen.  He  was  appointed  to  the  commission 
of  the  peace  for  the  county  Eerry  on  15th  May,  1679.  Vide 
a  book  preserved  in  the  Eing's  Inns  Library,  Dublin,  entitled^ 
"  An  exact  relation  of  the  Persecutions,  Robberies,  and  Losses 
sustained  by  the  Protestants  of  Eilmare,  in  Ireland,  with  an 
account  of  their  erecting  a  fortress  to  defend  themselves  against 
the  bloody  insolences  of  the  Papists,  1691." 

Thomas  Palmer,  in  16t>2,  had  a  grant  of  land  at  Eenmare, 
which  bad  been  the  property  of  the  O'SuUivans,  and  which,  in

such  rent  as  the  Economos  shall  think  fit  on  viewing  the  same. 
On  20th  May,  1703,  Mr.  Northcote  obtained  an  abatement  of  a 
fottrth  part  of  his  rent,  in  consideration  of  serving  the  cure  of

1710.  November  16.  Mr.  Charles  Northcote,  Preb.  of  Eil-

Atkin,  Treasurer),  to  the  parish  of  Eilcorcorane,  which  he 
claimed  as  Vioar  of  Newmarket  The  Chapter  repudiated  his 
daim,  and  decreed  him  to  appear  in  person  next  chapter,  and 
publicly  renounce  his  pretension. 

On  13th  November,  1717,  the  Chapter  refuses  to  make  any 
payment  to  Northcote  for  the  cure  of  Eilcorkoran  until  be 
ahall  appear  and  renounce  "  all  right,  title,  and  pretension  what- 
ever to  the  pretended  vicarage  of  Eilcorkeran."  In  1722  Mr. 
Northcote  has  a  dispute  about  the  bounds  of  Eilcorkeran 
parish,  and  a  commission  of  perambulation  is  ordered ;  and

the  city  of  Cork.  He  was  buried  at  Newmarket  on  26th  Jan- 
uary, 1779. 

1768.  The  following  inscription  is  now  (1863)  visible  on  a 
flat  stone  over  a  vault,  near  the  entrance  of  the  old  churchyard 
of  Clonfert :  **  Johannes  Creagh  obiit  8^  die  martis  anno  Dom. 
1768.     ^tatis  92. 

Hie  veneranda  pii  requiescant  ossa  Parentis, 
Dum  tuba  prolifico  reuovatum  pulvere  corpus 
Evocet  ad  sedes,  sic  fas  sperare,  beatas. 

Richardus,  Johannes,  filii  obsequentissimi  posuere.** 

John  Creagh,  whose  death  was  thus  recorded,  was  a  member 
of  an  ancient  Irish  &mily,  which  was  settled  iu  Cork- so  early 
as  the  time  of  Edward  111.,  and  continued  for  two  centuries  to 
form  intermarriages  with  the  leading  merchants,  and  to  attain 
power  and  wealth.  In  1644,  however,  when  the  other  ancient 
Irish  inhabitants  were  expelled  Cork,  William  Creagh,  with  his 
son,  John,  left  that  city. 

John  settled  near  Newmarket,  and  was  buried  in  Clonfert 
churchyard  ;  and  left  an  eldest  son,  John  Creagh,  of  Killowen, 
near  Newmarket,  who  died  as  above  is  mentioned. 

He  left  a  numerous  family,  and  his  descendants  still  possess 
the  lands  of  Killowen,  in  Clonfert  parish.

1774.  Oct.  16.  John  Philpot  Curran,  esq.,  and  Sarah  Creagh, 

both  of  this  parish,  were  married,  by  licence,  by  the  Curate, 
Henry  Weston,  in  presence  of  Richard  Odell  and  Jeremiah 
Keller.  [Par.  Reg.J  The  celebrated  Curran,  whose  memory 
is  still  affectionately  remembered  in  the  land  of  his  birth,  was 
born  on  or  about  24th  of  July  or  August,  1751,  in  a  bouse 
which  has  long  been  removed,  which  stood  to  the  west  of  the 
present  (1863)  court-house  in  Newmarket  His  father,  James 
Curran,  was  probably  from  the  north  of  Ireland,  and  held  the 
office  of  Seneschal  of  the  Manor  of  Newmarket  under  the  Aid- 
worth  family.  His  mother  was  of  gentle  blood,  being  a  de- 
scendant of  Henry  Philpot,  of  Feversham,  in  Kent,  whose 
grandson,  John  Philpot,  of  Feversham,  had,  inter  alios  (besides 
Sir  John  Philpot,  Judge  of  the  Common  Pleas),  a  son,  Nicholas

Philpot,  wbo,  by  his  wife,  Anne  (dau.  of  William,  and  sister  of 
Sir  Richard  Aldworth,  of  Newmarket),  had  two  sons,  John  and 
Gregory.  John  the  last  named  was  grandfather  to  William 
Philpot,  of  Dromagh,  whose  estates  passed  by  marriage  to  his 
great  grandson,  Nicholas  Philpot  Leader,  esq.,  whose  son,  N.  P. 
Leader,  is  now  (1863)  m.p.  for  Cork  county.  Gregory  (the 
other  son  of  Nicholas  Philpot  and  Anne  Aldworth),  by  his 
w:ife,  Bridgett,  dau.  of  John  Evatt,  Dean  of  Elphin,  had  issue 
two  sons,  Michael  (P.  Dromdaleague,  Cork,  q.  v.)  ;  and  Laur- 
ence, who  married  Sarah,  dau.  of  Hugh  Wigtou,  of  Raphoe, 
and  had  issue  Sarah,  wife  of  James  Curran,  and  mother  of 
John-Philpot  and  Laurence  Curran.  Mr.  Boyse,  or  Boyce,  the 
Vicar  of  Clonfert,  of. whose  charijbable  disposition  there  are 
some  traces  in  the  old  books  of  the  parish,  perceived  and  fos- 
tered the  germs  of  genius  in  the  youthful  Curran.  He  taught 
him  Greek  and  Latin,  and  sent  him  at  his  own  charges  to  Mid- 
dleton  school,  from  whence  Curran  entered  T.C.D.  as  Sizar,  in 
1769,  and  became  a  Scholar  in  17?0.  It  is  not  within  the 
scope  of  this  work  to  give  a  biography  of  Curran.  His  life  has 
been  already  more  than  once  written  ;  and  it  will  be  enough 
here  to  record  the  issue  of  the  marriage  which  he,  unhappily  for 
himself,  formed  as  above  in  1774.  On  29th  May,  1776,  Richard- 
Creagh,  son  of  John  and  Sarah  Curran,  was  baptized.  On  22nd 
Sept.  1777,  Sarah-Gertrude;  on  2nd  January,  1779,  Emily- 
Maria;  on  23rd  Dec.  1779,  Eliza-Odella ;  on  19th  January, 
1784,  John;  and  on  31st  January,  1787,  James,  children  of 
John  and  Sarah  Creagh,  were  baptized  at  Newmarket.  Another 
daughter,  Gertrude,  born  in  1780^  died  on  6th  October,  1792, 
and  was  buried  at  the  Priory,  Rathfarnham.  One  of  his 
daughters,  Sarah,  the  betrothed  of  Emmett,  and  wife  of  Mr. 
Sturgeon,  lies  buried  in  Newmarket.  Only  a  rough  stone 
marks  the  spot.  (Fwfe  supra,  vol.  i.  p.  53.)  Another  daugh- 
ter, Eliza,  I  suppose,  was  wife  to  an  English  clergyman,  Mr. 
Taylor  ;  and  another  daughter,  Amelia,  resided  at  Clifton,  near 
Bristol,  for  some  time. 

J.  P.  Curran  died  at  nine  o'clock  on  the  evening  of  14th 
Oct.  1817,  at  his  house,  Amelia-place,  Brompton,  Middlesex, 
London.  His  funeral,  which  took  place  on  4th  November, 
was  private,  the  hour  being  communicated  only  to  the  mourn- 
ers. Between  twelve  and  one  the  procession  left  Upper  Gros- 
venor-street,  where  the  body  had  been  deposited  the  night 
before.  There  were  but  three  mourning  and  three  private  car- 
riages. Mr.  Curran,  barrister.  Captain  Curran,  and  Mrs.  Tay- 
lor, his  children,  and  Mr.  Thomas  Moore,  Mr.  Godwin,  and  Mr, 
Charles  Philips,  attended.  The  body  was  deposited  in  a  vault 
at  Paddington,  and  was  twenty  years  afterwards  removed  to 
Glasnevin.  In  the  parish  church  of  Clifton,  on  the  south  wall, 
under  a  female  figure,  mourning,  is  the  following  inscription  : —

This  entry  was  after  December,  1776,  and  before  January,

trace  this  legacy  further,  until  the  year  1806,  when  the  vestry

terest of  this  £50  ceased«  nor  was  it  recovered  until  the  year 
1S62,  when  the  principal  and  interest  were  paid  through  the 
medium  of  the  Incumbered  Estates  Court  to  the  Commissioners 
of  Charitable  Donations  and  Bequests.  It  is  now  called  the

tions a  sister,  Anne,  wife  of  Thomas  Gibbings,  esq.,  of  Gib- 
bings-grove,  county  Cork.  He  was  married,  and  his  relict  and

of  the  (Economy  part  of  the  tithes  and  land  of  Clonmel  in 
1764,  but  in  1766  she  ceased  to  hold  that  property.

Louth,  and  when  fifteen  years  old  entered  T.C.D.  as  Pensioner 
on  17th  Sept.  1722. 

The  following  extract  from  a  letter  of  Bishop  Berkeley,  dated 
20th  March,  1734,  has  reference  to  Mr.  Cox  : — **  There  is  one 
Mr.  Cox,  a  clergyman,  son  to  the  late  Dr.  Cox,  near  Drogheda, 
who,  1  understand,  is  under  the  patronage  of  Dr.  Coghill. 
Pray  inform  yourself  of  his  character  ;  whether  he  be  a  good 
man,  one  of  parts  and  learning,  and  how  he  is  provided  for. 
I  should  be  glad  to  be  apprized  of  his  character.  No  one  has 
recommended  him  to  me  ;  but  his  father  was  an  ingenious 
man  ;  and  I  saw  two  sensible  women,  his  sisters,  at  Rhode

was  also  P.  fi  ilmacdonogh,  q.  v. 

William  Vayle  was  also  organist.  In  1671  he  probably 
enjoyed  2  places,  as  there  were  but  3  Vicars  Choral  in  that 
year,  namely,  Considine,  Fitzsymons,  and  Vayle.  In  1672, 
May  30,  Vayle  not  appearing,  is  ordered  to  be  suspended  ab 
officio,  and  his  vicarage  is  sequestered.  On  2nd  March,  1675, 
is  the  following  entry  made  in  the  chapter  books  : — *^  Whereas 
the  Bishop  has  collated  William  Vayle  one  of  the  Vicars  Choral, 
yet,  notwithstanding  it  is  evident  that  he  cannot  enjoy  the  same 
by  that  collation.  However,  in  consequence  of  a  reference  by 
word  of  mouth  from  Thomas,  Lord  Abp.  of  Cashel,  at  his  trien- 
nial visitation,  held  at  Cloyne  this  day,  directed  to  us,  the 
Dean  and  Chapter,  to  consider  of  an  expedient  that  neither  the 
organ  be  destitute  of  an  organist,  nor  the  present  organist,  the 
said  William  Vayle,  of  a  com}>etent  maintenance,  we  humbly 
request  and  represent  that  it  is  convenient  that  the  said  William 
Vayle  shall  continue  to  enjoy  the  one  moiety  of  the  profits  of 
the  4  vicarages  belonging  to  the  4  Vicars  Choral,  provided  he 
keep  in  repair  the  organ,  and  at  his  own  cost  find  one  to  blow 
the  bellows."  Vayle,  on  March  3,  1721,  resigned  the  vicarage 
which  he  held  as  organist,  and  Mr.  Kearney  was  appointed 
thereto,  but  was  to  pay  Vayle  £10  p.  an.  for  his  life  out  of  the 
profits.     [Cloyne  Chapter  Books.] 

Daniel  Fitzsymons,  in  1669  and  1670,  is  marked  '' absent 
studendi  gratia.  [V.B.  D.R.]  He  is  said  to  have  been  nomi- 
nated by  the  Dean  in  a  chapter  entry  of  9th  Aug.,  1671,  at 
which  time  it  was  agreed  that  Considine  should  enjoy  Fitz- 
symons' vicarage  during  the  incumbency  of  Fitzsymons,  paying 
to  Fitzsymons  £15  yearly.  And  that  when  Fitzsymons  shall 
have  other  preferment,  Considine  shall  pay  him  £12  yearly, 
and  serve  his  cure.  On  June  11,  1674,  it  was  decreed  that 
Daniel  Fitzsymons  be  deprived,  and  that  his  vicarage  be  vacant 
and  sequestered.     [Cloyne  Chapter  Book.] 

Daniel  Fitzsimons,  born  at  Aghadagh,  county  Cork,  son  of 
Rev.  Phelim  Fitzsimons  (Precentor  of  Cork,  q.  v.)  was  educated 
at  Cork,  sub.  Mr.  Scroggs,  and  entered  T.C.D.  as  Pens.,  on 
30th  January,  1666/7,  being  then  sixteen  years  of  age  [Reg.

Extract  from  a  letter  of  Bp.  Berkeley,  dated  Cloyne,  Feb.  2, 
1749:  **  Our  round  tower  stands  where  it  did,  but  the  little  stone 
arched  vault  on  the  top  was  cracked.  The  bell  also  was  thrown 
down,  and  broke  its  way  through  three  boarded  stories,  but 
remains  entire.  The  door  was  shivered  into  many  very  small 
pieces,  and  dispersed^and  there  was  astone  forced  out  of  the  waU. 
The  thunder  clap  was  the  loudest  1  ever  heard  in  Ireland.** 

The  following  is  a  more  particular  account  of  this  accident : 
'^  A  storm  of  lightning,  with  thunder,  on  the  night  of  January 
10,  1749,  passed  through  the  country  in  a  line  from  W.  to  E., 
and  after  killing  some  cows  in  a  field  S.  of  Cork,  struck  the 
round  tower  of  Cloyne.  It  first  rent  the  vaulted  arch  at  the 
top,  threw  down  the  great  bell,  together  with  three  galleries, 
and  descending  perpendicularly  to  the  lowest  floor,  forced  its 
way  with  a  violent  explosion  through  one  side  of  the  tower, 
and  drove  some  of  the  stones,  which  were  admirably  well 
jointed,  through  the  roof  of  a  neighbouring  stable.  The  door, 
though  secured  by  a  strong  iron  lock,  was  thrown  to  the  dis« 
tance  of  sixty  yards,  and  quite  shattered  to  pieces.  A  few 
pigeons  that  used  to  roost  on  the  top  of  the  steeple  were 
scorched  to  death,  not  a  feather  of  them  being  left  unsinged. 
With  the  same  bad  taste  which  distinguishes  all  the  works  of 
architecture  of  this  era,  the  vaulted  stone  roof  of  the  tower  was 
never  repaired,  but  the  height  was  lowered  more  than  6  feet, 
and  a  vile  battlement,  in  imitation  of  the  worst  English  churches, 
substituted  in  its  stead.'*     [Bishop  Bennet.]

The  following  account  of  Cloyne,  of  the  date  1813,  or  a  little 
later,  is  taken  from  the  manuscripts  of  Bishop  Beunet : — 

Cathedral,  Town,  and  Environs. 

"Smith  (in  his  History  of  Cork,  vol.  i.,  p.  135,)  has  repre- 
sented the  state  of  the  Cathedral  in  his  time,  and  given  a  list 
of  the  inscriptions  on  the  tombs.  It  is  a  respectable  building 
with  a  handsome  nave  and  transept,  and  a  small  choir,  all  kept 
in  better  order  than  is  usual  in  the  ancient  Irish  churches,  ny 
the  style  of  the  building  I  should  suppose  it  not  older  than 
1250.  It  has  no  mouldings  of  the  zig-zag,  nailhead,  or  billeted 
kind,  nor  round  arched  windows,  which  distinguish  what  is 
called  the  Saxon  or  rather  Norman  architecture,  before  the  in- 
troduction of  the  Gothic,  temp.  Henry  III.,  and  which  appears, 
for  instance,  in  Cormac*s  Chapel,  at  Cashel;  nor,  on  the  other 
hand,  has  it  the  splendid  arch  or  oak-leaved  ornamentation  so 
common  towards  the  middle  of  the  reign  of  Edward  L  I 
should,  therefore,  fix  the  era  of  its  erection  to  the  latter  years 
of  the  first  of  these  princes,  or  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  the 
last.  The  windows,  though  since  altered,  were  evidently  lancet- 
shaped,  as  was  common  in  the  time  of  Hemy  III.     See  the

great  west  wiDdow  and  that  of  the  south  transept,  the  latter 
on  the  outside,  which  is  an  additional  reason  for  the  date  I  have 
chosen,  as  is  also  the  circumstance  that  about  this  time  three 
Prelates  out  of  four  were  from  England,  where  monastic  and 
cathedral  architecture  were  in  high  estimation.  The  Bishops 
Johnson  and  Woodward  are  buried  in  this  cathedral.  In  erect- 
ing the  present  cross  wall,  at  the  entrance  to  the  choir,  which 
was  done  by  Bishop  Agar,  1776,  as  the  workmen  dug  deep  in 
the  nave  to  lay  the  foundation,  they  discovered  a  row  of  graves 
of  rather  singular  construction,  consisting  of  brick  cells,  ex- 
actly suited  to  the  size  and  shape  of  the  body  contained  in  each, 
and  what  is  curious  enough,  one  of  them  ended  at  the  shoul- 
ders, nor  were  any  of  the  bones  of  the  skull  to  be  found  with 
the  body.  It  is,  therefore,  not  improbable  that  the  head  of  the 
owner  may  have  been  fixed  on  Cork  gates  in  the  times  of  tur- 
bulence, as  they  appear,  in  the  print  given  us  of  that  city  in 
Pacata  Uibemia,  to  be  full  of  such  kind  of  trophies. 

"  The  round  tower,  situated  near  the  west  door  of  the  cathe- 
dral, is  in  excellent  preservation.  The  dimensions  of  it  are  as 
follows  : — Height,  92  feet ;  circumference,  50  ;  thickness  of 
walls,  3  feet  8  inches;  height  of  door  from  ground,  13  feet. 
It  has  stones  projecting  on  the  first  story  for  the  joists  of  a 
floor  to  rest  on.  Windows  seem  to  have  lighted  different 
stories,  and  at  the  top  were  four  in  number,  as  is  invariably  the 
case.  The  summit,  however,  has  been  absurdly  altered,  pro- 
bably after  it  was  struck  by  lightning  in  1749,  into  the  shape 
of  battlements,  instead  of  being  closed  at  top  as  usual.  The 
stones  of  which  the  tower  is  formed  have  been  chiefly  brought 
from  the  sea-shore,  though  about  half  way  up  the  building  the 
stones  themselves,  as  well  as  the  mode  of  placing  them,  undergo 
an  evident  alteration.  Within  the  tower  hangs  the  single 
bell  belonging  to  the  church,  presented  by  Dean  Bavies.  The 
steps  to  the  door  are  also  modern,  like  the  battlements,  for  these 
round  towers  (whatever  may  have  been  their  use),  were  always 
entered  by  a  rope  or  ladder. 

"  In  the  eastern  part  of  the  church-yard,  which  is  large  and 
well  planted,  still  remain  the  ruins  of  a  small  stone  edifice 
(standing  east  and  west,  30  feet  long  and  19  in  breadth), 
known  by  the  name  of  St.  Colman's  Cliapel,  and  probably  one 
of  those  oratories  or  early  churches  still  to  be  seen  at  Eillaloe 
or  St.  Donat's,  treated  of  by  Ledwich  in  his  Antiquities. 

"The  town  of  Cloyne  is  situated  on  a  small  limestone  emin- 
ence, gently  rising  in  the  midst  of  the  valley,  through  which 
I  suppose  Cork  harbour  to  have  once  communicated  with  the 
sea,  and  this  eminence,  therefore,  was  once  an  island  sur- 
rounded with  water;  afterwards,  on  the  water  partially  drying 
up,  by  a  deep  bog;  and  at  present,  by  rich  and  in  general  well 
improved  m^Bwlows,  to  which  the  plantations  about  the  church

and  see  house,  with  the  round  tower  appearing  everywhere 
above  them,  give  a  good  effect.  On  this  spot,  when  in  its  first 
or  second  state  of  transition  (and  in  either  it  was  a  place  of 
considerable  security),  St  Colman  before  the  year  600,  is  sup- 
posed to  have  founded  his  church,  and  the  security  of  it  must 
have  received  no  small  addition  from  the  circumstance  of  a 
cave,  which  is  on  the  most  elevated  part  of  it,  extending  in 
various  branches  underground  to  a  great  distance.  In  tliose 
unsettled  and  barbarous  ages,  caves  of  this  sort  were  resorted  to 
by  the  natives  on  the  first  appearance  of  an  enemy,  and  the 
invaders  seldom  being  able  to  make  a  long  stay,  the  wives  and 
children  of  the  tenants,  and  perhaps  even  their  cattle,  would 
remain  in  tolerable  safety  till  the  country  could  collect  in  their 
defence.  It  is  certain  that  places  of  refuge  of  this  sort  were 
looked  upon  as  of  so  much  necessity,  that  in  some  of  the  Heb- 
rides we  find  artificial  caves  constructed  for  this  purpose,  and 
where  nature  had  provided  one  so  deep  and  roomy  a^  this,  the 
rude  inhabitants  of  the  time  would  as  naturally  graze  their 
flocks  and  build  their  huts  in  its  neighbourhood,  as  in  later 
days  they  raised  their  cottages  under  the  shelter  of  a  Norman 
castle.  This  idea,  also,  will  receive  confirmation  from  the  name 
of  the  town,  Cluaine,  signifying  a  cave  in  the  Irish  language. 

**  The  cave  is  now  in  the  field  called  the  Rock-meadow,  form- 
ing part  of  the  Bishop's  demesne,  a  little  east  of  his  garden 
wall,  and  they  having  been  long  neglected,  and  the  drains  from 
it  choked  up,  it  is  generally  full  of  water  in  winter,  yet  there 
is  a  large  arched  passage,  running  some  hundred  yards,  leading 
to  another  mouth  in  the  shrubbery  north  of  it  A  third  but 
smaller  opening  is  also  visible  in  the  high  ground  above  the 
pond,  a  fourth  near  the  road  to  the  commons,  and  these  or 
similar  entrances  being  known  to  the  first  inhabitants,  gave  the 
Irish  name  to  the  whole  of  this  land  (which  since  the  enclosure 
is  preserved  in  the  small  field  joining  it)  of  Nonelus  Ry,  or  the 
field  of  the  caverns. 

*''  That  such  caves  were  used  in  Ireland  for  the  purpose  of 
security,  appears  from  the  Iceland  Annals.  [See  '  Antiq. : 
Celts  and  Scandinav.*  page  14.] 

"  *  Leifr  went  on  piracy  to  the  west,  and  infested  Ireland  with 
his  arms.  He  there  discovered  large  subterraneous  caves,  the 
entrances  of  which  were  dark  and  dismal ;  but  on  entering  they 
saw  the  glittering  of  the  swords  which  the  men  held  in  their 
hands.  The  men  they  slew,  and  brought  the  swords,  with  much 
riches,  away.' 

<<  Thus  I  conjecture  Cloyne  to  have  been  originally  inhabited 
in  the  earliest  times,  in  consequence  of  the  security  afforded  by 
its  caves,  and  to  have  increased  in  fame  after  GOO,  from  the 
veneration  paid  to  its  saint,  the  round  tower  certainly  affording 
a  mark  of  its  importance  in  the  year  900,  or  at  least  long 


166  CLOTHE  (VICABS  CHORAL).  [cLOTHB. 

before  the  English  invasion  in  1171.  [From  the  best  opinion 
I  can  form  on  this  disputed  subject,  I  conclude  the  Irish 
round  towers  to  have  been  raised  by  the  Ostmen,  on  their 
conversion  to  Christianity,  about  900.] 

"  When  the  old  retreat  of  the  cave  became  of  less  consequence, 
from  the  change  of  manners,  the  safety  of  the  inhabitants  was 
equally  consulted  about  1200,  by  the  erection  of  several  strong 
and  insulated  castles,  as  seems  to  have  been  the  case  in  all  the 
old  Irish  towns  of  much  note,  to  which  the  inmates  of  the  neigh- 
bouring caverns  retired  in  times  of  danger,  at  once  receiving 
and  giving  protection.     One  of  these  castles  was,  as  we  have 
Been,  at  the  south-east  angle  of  the  square,  formed  by  the  meet- 
ing of  the  four  streets ;  a  second  stood  in  Garryo wen-lane,  ou 
the  north  side  of  the  road ;  and  another  somewhat  to  the  east 
of  the  present  see  house:  these  buildings  were  probably  raised 
by  the  Powers,  or  Fitzgeralds,  most  likely  by  the  latter,  who 
possessed  almost  the  whole  barony  of  Imokilly,  first  when  newly 
settled  in  the  country  as  a  defence  against  the  savage  natives, 
and  afterwards,  when  assimilated  to   them  in    manners  and 
religion,  as  a  protection  to  them.     The  advantage  of  the  com- 
mons at  a  still  later  era  operated  as  a  cause  of  increase  to  the 
population,  so  that  even  at  present,  though  exceeded  in  splen- 
dour of  buildings  and  many  other  advantages  by  the  neighbour- 
ing towns  of  Middleton  and  Castlcniartyr,  it  is  not  considerably 
below  them  in  number,  which  by  a  tolerably  accurate  compu- 
tation, in  1800,  amounted  to  more  than  1,600  souls.     [The  in- 
habited houses  were  as  follows  : — Church-lane,  75  ;  Roch-lane, 
35 ;  River-lane,  62 ;  Spital-lane,  136.     By  a  later  and  more 
accurate  enumeration  taken  on  oath  in  1813,  the  number  of 
inhabitants  amounted  to  2,020,  the  town  then  having  308  in- 
habited houses,  and  at  least  5^  persons  to  every  house  on  an 
average.]  As  there  is  no  other  market  for  the  whole  well-peopled 
peninsula  from  Ballycotton  to  Rostillan,  the  influx  of  persons 
on  a  market  or  fair  day  is  very  considerable  indeed.     The 
ancient  names  of  the  neighbouring  fields  and  ground  speak 
the  savageness  of  the  place  in  early  times,  Ejiockna  Madreo 
is  the  hill  of  the  grey  dog  or  wolf;  Park  Nadristrig,  the  field 
of  briers ;  Monewraniskey,  the  meadow  of  the  wild  boars. 

''  Of  the  hills  that  surround  the  town,  that  on  the  north  is 
Bohermore,  or  the  great  highway ;  from  a  tradition  that  a  road 
passed  over  it  from  the  sea  on  the  south  to  that  on  the  north 
of  the  kingdom.  The  hill  to  the  north-west  is,  as  we  have 
said,  Knockna  Nadree,  the  hill  of  the  Wolf,  and  to  the  north- 
east is  Courtoun,  or  the  hill  with  the  naked  turn,  which  ex- 
presses its  present  appearance  with  much  precision." 

The  new  organ,  bought  by  the  Chapter  in  1813,  cost  £800.

Michael  Boyle  (eldest  son  of  Micuael,  Bishop  of  Cork^  and 
afterwards  Archbishop  of  Tuam),  was,  from  1637  to  1661,  11. 
Clonpriost ;  from  1637  to  1678,  P.  Desertmore,  Cork  ;  from 
1640  to  1661,  Dean  of  Cloyne,  and  R.  Shandrum  ;  from  1660

Archbishop  of  Dublin  ;  and  from  1678  to  1702,  Archbishop  of 
Armagh  and  Primate  of  all  Ireland. 

He  was  Chaplain-General  to  the  Army  in  the  province  of 
Munster  during  the  rebellion,  with  an  allowance  of  20s.  per 
day;  and  was  plundered  by  the  rebels  of  property  to  the  value 
of  £565.     [MS.  T.C.D.  F.  2.  17.] 

He  married,  firstly,  Margaret,  dau.  of  Dr.  George  Syuge, 
Bishop  of  Cloyne,  by  whom  lie  had  a  daughter,  Martha,  but 
had  the  misfortune  to  lose  both  wife  and  daughter  by  shipwreck, 
in  1641.  He  married,  secondly,  Mary,  dau.  of  Dermot,  Lord

Henry  Rugg  was  ordained  Deacon  and  Priest  by  the  Bishop 
of  Cork  on  24th  May,  1628;  and  on  20th  Sept.  1631,  wtis  ad- 
mitted one  of  the  Fellows  of  the  College  of  the  B.V.M.  de 
Youghall.     [R.V.  1634.] 

From  1637  to  1661  he  was  Vicar  Choral,  Cloyne,  and  K. 
Igtermurragh;  and  from  1638  to  1671  was  a  Vicar  Choral  of 
Ross.  He  was  also  from  1640  to  1661,  P.  Cahirultan;  from 
1661  to  1663,  P.  Kilmacdonogh;  from  1661  to  1671,  R.  Clon-

from  1669  to  1671,  R.  Bohillane  and  Kilmahon. 

The  Dean  was  plundered  by  the  rebels  in  1641  of  property 
to  the  amount  of  £1,928.     [MS.  T.C.D.  F.  2.  17.] 

Dean  Rugg  had  issue  (by  his  wife,  Sarah,  relict  of 

Smith),  two  sons,  John,  P.  Kilmacdonogh,  q.  v.;  and  Thomas, 
who  was  a  Vicar  Choral  of  Cloyne,  in  1663. 

The  Dean  was  buried  in  Cloyne  Cathedral,  under  the  south 
end  of  the  communion  table,  in  June,  1671. 
1671.  August  3.  William  Fitzgeeald,  Dean  of  Cloyne,  and  R.  Clon- 
priest.      [F.F.]     On  letters  patent,   dated  July   13.      [Lib. 
Mun.] 

In  1672,  May  30,  he  took  the  chapter  oath;  and  in  1678, 
January  9,  was  (with  three  others),  chosen  Guardian  of  the 
Spiritualities,  on  the  death  of  Edward,  Bishop  of  Cork,  Cloyne, 
and  Ross.     [C.B.]     Ho  was  attainted  by  James  II.  in  1689. 

William  Fitzgerald  was  the  eldest  son  of  John  Fitzgerald, 
who  was  Dean  of  Cork  from  1628  to  1641.  Dean  John  Fitz- 
gerald could  not,  however,  have  died  in  1641,  as  I  have  stated 
on  the  authority  of  Cotton.  On  referring  to  Lodge  (edition  of 
1754,  vol.  i.,  page  73),  I  find  that  ho  states  that  the  Dean's 
%v}fe  died  in  Bristol,  in  1641.  The  matriculation  book  of  T.C.D. 
states  that  William  and  John,  the  first  and  the  second  sons  re- 
spectively of  "  Gerald,  decani  Corcag.,"  were  born  in  Cork,  and 
entered  as  Pensioners  on  22nd  June,  1660,  being  aged,  the  elder 
nineteen,  the  younger  seventeen  years.  They  must,  if  this 
entry  of  their  matriculation  be  correct,  have  been  sons  of  Dean 
John  Fitzgerald,  by  a  second  wife. 

W.  Fitzgerald  was  from  1661  to  1669,  P.  Kilmacdonogh; 
and  from  1669  to  1691,  P.  Tipper,  Dublin.  He  was  also,  from 
1663  to  1671,  V.  Clondrohid;  and  from  1671  to  1691,  Dean  of 
Cloyne,  R.  Ardagh  and  Clonpriest;  and  from  1675  to  1692, 
Archdeacon  of  Ross,  and  R.  V.  Clondrohid. 

From  1691  to  his  death  in  1722  he  was  Bishop  of  Clonfert. 

"  William  Fitzgerald,  d.d..  Dean  of  Cloyne,"  married,  in  1688, 
Letitia  Cole,  of  Dublin,  spinster.  [Dublin  Marriage  Licence,  1st 
July.]  The  Dean  married,  also,  Mary,  relict  of  Boyle  May- 
nard,  esq.,  and  second  daughter  of  Sir  Heney  Tynte,  by  Ma- 
bella,  dau.  of  Sir  Percy  Smith,  of  Ballynatray.  By  her  the 
Dean  had  no  issue,  but  whether  she  was  his  first  or  second  wife 
I  cannot  say. 
1691.  Sept.  4.  Henry  Scardeville,  b.d.,  is  appointed  Dean.  [Lib. 
Mun.]  But  he  was  not  instituted  for  some  years ;  and  from 
1691  to  1694,  Mr.  Rowland  Davies  acted  as  Sub-dean.

has  writ  to  Lords  Justices  in  his  behalf.  Dominus  Rex  patro-

1695.  August  2.  Dean  Scardeville  was  instituted.  [D.B.] 
He  took  the  chapter  outb  on  8th  August     [Chapter  Book.] 

Dean  Scardeville  gave  to  Cloyne  Cathedral  one  large  silver 
ohalice  and  a  paten.     [D.R.] 

Henry  Scanieville  (bom  at  Salisbury,  and  educated  at  Rep- 
ton),  entered  T.C.D.  when  nineteen  years  old,  on  24th  April, 
1673,  and  graduated  afterwards  b.d. 

He  was  Chaplain  to  Field  Marslial  the  Duke  of  Schombebo. 
From  1681  to  1685  he  was  R.  Cloghran,  Swords,  Dublin;  from 
1682  to  1703,  P.  Swords,  Dublin;  from  1691  to  17C3,  Dean  of 
Cloyne,  and  V.  Clondrohid;  and  from  1693  to  his  death  in  1703 
he  was  Archdeacon  of  Ross. 

The  family  history  of  Di>an  Scardeville  is  best  told  by  the 
inscriptions  on  a  mural  tablet,  and  on  a  tombstone  in  the 
chancel  of  Swords  Church,  copies  of  which  were  kindly  fur- 
nished by  Rev.  Thomas  Twigg,  the  Incumbent. 

"  Here  lyeth  ye  body  of  ye  Rev.  Henry  Scardevile,  Dean  of 
Cloyn,  Archdeacon  of  Rosse,  Prebendary  and  Vicar  of  Swords, 
who  departed  this  life  ye  3rd  of  February,  1703;  together  with 
ye  body  of  his  first  wife,  Mary,  ye  daughter  of  the  Hon.  Colonel 
Guy  Molesworth,  of  London,  [The  Dean  was  married  in 
December,  1682,  M.  L.  Dublin.]"  who  died  in  childbed,  and 
left  no  issue.  He  also  married  Margrety,  daughter  of  Robert 
Culliford,  of  Encoomb,  in  the  county  of  Dorsetshire,  esq.,  who 
lies  interred  at  Thistleworth,  in  Middlesex,  by  whom  he  had 
issue  a  son  and  a  daughter,  viz.,  Frederick  Maynbard,  and 
Elisabeth. 

"Here  also  lieth  the  body  of  Elisabeth  Scardevile,  his 
daughter,  who  departed  this  life  the  4th  day  of  May,  1704." 

Dean  Scardeville  is  said  to  have  repaired  the  old  round  tower 
at  Swords.  He  left,  bv  will,  £100  for  teaching  the  Protestant 
children  of  Swords,  which  bequest  seems  never  to  have  been 
paid.  His  executor,  Mr.  John  Scardeville,  was  sued  for  it  by 
direction  of  the  Swords  Vestry,  in  1731,  and  he  appears  to  have 
handed  over  in  lieu  thereof  a  lease  M^hich  he  held  from  the 
Dean  and  Chapter  of  St.  Patrick's,  of  the  tithes  of  the  parish 
of  Killeek.  That  lease  was  afterwards  made  over  to  the  Curate 
of  Swords,  Rev.  Alexander  Eustace;  and  the  parish  of  Swords 
has  had  no  benefit  from  the  bequest  of  Dean  Scardeville  since 
the  year  1774.

There  is  no  notice  of  Hort  in  the  chapter  book,  excepting

Josiah  Hort  (son  of  John  Hort,  esq.,  of  Markfield,  county

Clare  Hall,  Cambridge,  but  took  no  degree  there.  He  came  to

Archdeacon  Meade  was  descended  from  the  ancient  Irish 
family  of  Myaghe,  or  Meagh.  In  1559  John  Meade  was  m.p. 
for  Cork  city,  and  his  son  and  heir,  John  Meade,  of  Ballintob-

by  his  wife,  Catherine,  dau.  of  Sir  Dominick  Sarsfield,  the  first 
Viscount  Eilmallock,  had  issue  an  only  son,  William  Meade, 
who  was  a  Lieut-Colonel  in  the  Army,  and  raised  a  troop  of 
horse  for  Charles  II.  in  1666.  This  Colonel  William  Meade, 
by  Elisabeth,  dau.  of  Sir  Robert  Travers  and  Elisabeth  Boyle, 
dau.  of  the  Archbishop  of  Tuam,  had  four  sons,  of  whom  the 
first  was  John,  created  a  baronet  in  1703,  who  was  ancestor  of 
the  Earls  of  Clanwilliam,  and  the  fourth  son  was  Dominick, 
Archdeacon  of  Cloyne. 

Dominick  was  born  at  BaU in tobber,  circa  1661, and,  when  nine- 
teen years  old,  entered  T.C.D.,  on  13th  June,  1680;  and,  having 
graduated,  was,  on  19th  Dec,  1686,  ordained  a  Deacon  at  Cork. 

From  1686  to  1692  he  was  R.  Rathcony,  Cork;  and  from 
1687  to  his  death  in  1729  or  1730  was  Archdeacon  of  Cloyne. 

He  married  Mary,  dau.  of  Francis  Smjrth,  of  Rathconrsey,  by 
Maria,  dau.  of  Beverly  Usher.  [Cork  M.  R  of  9th  Sept.,  1695.] 
He  also  married,  according  to  family  papers,  Margaret,  dau.  of 
Mathew,  fifth  Lord  Louth,  and  relict  of  Sir  Christopher  Aylmer.

KANTURK,  P.  C. 


In  Kanturk,  formerly  a  village  in  the  parish  of  Clonfert,  there 
seems  to  have  been  some  place  of  worship  in  1772,  where  ^he 
Curate  of  Clonfert  used  to  preach  about  one  Sunday  in  four.  Be- 
tween 1794  and  1798,  during  the  incumbency  of  Richard  Wood- 
ward, the  Bishop's  son,  at  Clonfert,  a  chapel  was  erected  in 
Kanturk,  on  a  site  granted  by  the  Earl  of  Eomomt,  a  little  below 
the  confluence  of  the  rivers  Alio  and  Dallua.  The  Earl  gave,also, 
£50  towards  the  building ;  and  William  Allen,  esq.,  of  Green- 
field, to  whose  zeal  and  attention  the  completion  of  the  church 
may  in  a  great  measure  be  ascribed,  erected  in  it  a  handsome

gallery  at  his  own  expense.  In  1805,  Oct.  11,  the  Rev.  George 
May  bury  seems  to  have  been  licensed  to  the  caraoy  of  Kanturk 
by  the  Vicar  of  Clonfert,  and  at  the  Clonfert  vestries  of  that 
period  a  parish  clerk,  <fec.,  fur  Kanturk  was  regularly  appointed. 
In  1808,  howeyer,  Mr.  Hewitt,  the  Vicar  of  Clonfert,  took  steps 
to  have  Kanturk  made  a  perpetual  cure,  and  in  1809  it  was 
accordingly  formed  into  a  chapel ry  or  parish,  as  it  is  at  present 
1809.  Robert  Bullek  is  Curate. 

1809.  .July  12.  The  Bishop  of  Cloyne,  and  Francis  Hewitt, 
V.  Clonfert,  sign  the  deed  for  erecting  Kanturk  into  a  perpetual 
cure,  under  the  Act  11  and  12  George  L  The  Bishop  assigns 
to  the  Cure  of  the  church  or  chapel  of  Kanturk  the  toUowing 
townlands  : — ''  Kanturk,  G^radeen,  Curragh,  Mylihiragh,  Roa- 
line,  Coolevotas,  Kilnockin,  Knockelly,  Knockshehy,  Knock* 
shesane,  Gooseberry-hill,  Carrigcashel,  Barleyhill,  Lismire^ 
Duarrigle,  Callaghan's  Rosacon,  Callaghan*s  lasm^cummin, 
Murphy's  Lisniealcummin,  Two  Clontimacades,  Greenfield, 
Gortnaconroe,  and  Gortnascreggy,  which  several  townlands 
shall  belong  to  the  Cure  of  the  church  or  chapel  of  ease  so 
erected  in  the  town  of  Kanturk  as  aforesaid,  which  shall  here- 
after be  one  parish,  to  be  called  and  known  by  the  name  of  the 
parish  or  chapelry  of  Kanturk,  and  shall  be  deemed  and  reputed 
to  be  one  entire  parish,  for  the  purposes  in  the  said  Act 
mentioned,  saving,  nevertheless,  to  the  said  Francis  Hewitt 
and  his  successors,  Vicars  of  Clonfert,  otherwise  Trinity  Christ 
Church,  Newmarket,  all  his  and  their  rights  as  Vicars  of  said 
parish  of  Clonfert **  At  this  time  the  Vicar  of  Clonfert  allocated 
for  the  stipend  of  the  Curate  the  tithes  of  two  farms,  called 
Coulacousane  and  Curragh,  amounting  to  £54  per  an.  The 
Board  of  First  Fruits  gave  an  equal  sum,  and  also  gave  £450 
to  fine  down  the  rent  of  10  plantation  acres  for  a  glebe,  and 
an  additional  £450  for  a  house.  This  (says  Mr.  Hewitt,  in  his 
account  of  Clonfert,  preserved  in  manuscript  by  his  son),  makes 
it  one  of  the  best  curacies  in  the  diocese,  and  the  Bishop  allows 
the  Curate  to  perform  the  occasional  duties  of  Tullilease,  a  non* 
cure,  for  which  service  £10  per  an.  is  allowed.  This  provision 
for  the  Curate  is,  every  way,  worth  £150  per  an.  The  Earl  of 
Egmont  allows  annually  £30  to  Mr.  Bullen,  as  schoolmaster  at 
Kanturk.     [D.R.  and  Hewitt  MSS.] 

N.B. — The  townlands  above  mentioned  as  comprising  the 
district  of  the  perpetual  curacy,  are  identical  with  those  selected 
on  15th  June,  1807,  by  the  parishioners  of  Clonfert,  "for 
paying  the  clerk  and  sexton  of  Kanturk,  and  for  keeping  the 
chapel  in  repair,  in  order  that  said  chapel  of  ease  may  be  made 
a  perpetual  cure."     [Clonfert  Vestry  Book.]

Cork,  that  Richard  Ashe,  r.  EillaspagmuDane,  and  V.  Holy 

Trinity,  was  also  B.  Killeagh.     The  error  arose  from  the  ah-

was  omitted  in  the  Cork  Becords.

James  Spencer  was  Curate  of  Youghall  in  1662.  From 
1662  to  1671  (?)  he  was  V.  Raghan,  Ardagh.  In  1663  he 
was  Chaplain  to  the  Bishop  of  Ardagh.  From  1667  to  his 
death  in  1701  he  was  V.  Inchinabacky,  Clonmult,  Dingindon- 
ovan,  and  K.  Killeagh. 

He  was  married.  **  Dorothy,  ye  wife  of  Mr.  James  Spencer, 
Minister,"  on  17th  March,  1670/1,  was  buried  in  Youghall. 
Ho  had  issue  a  daughter,  *'  ffrancis,"  who  was  baptized  at 
Youghal  on  1st  Feb.,  1668/9.     [Youghal  Par.  Reg.] 

I  venture  no  remark  as  to  tlie  relationship  of  this  James 
Spencer  to  Edmund,  the  poet  But  I  will  here  give  some  very 
brief  notes  of  the  Spencer  family,  which  may  be  of  interest. 
I  find  Henry  Spencer  was  ordained  Priest  by  the  Bishop  of 
Ardfert  on  18th  March,  1663.  He  was  V.  Drehidtarsna,  in 
Limerick.  Perhaps  he  is  the  same  person  who  was  buried  in 
Cork,  in  1646.  Vide  Holy  Trinity  Vicarage,  Cork,  page  110 
of  vol.  i. 

Edmund  Spencer,  the  poet,  died  in  1599.  In  1600  Sib 
Gerald  Aylmer  and  Sir  William  Sarsfield  grant  a  deed  of 
feofiment  on  20th  August,  of  11.  Athnowen,  Rennybrough,  R. 
Kilbride,  Kilbrogane,  Kilmainane,  Agneholtie,  <S:c.,  parcels  of 
the  Abbey  of  Grany,  in  Munster,  to  the  use  of  Roger  Seeker- 
ton  and  his  wife  (the  poet's  relict),  with  rem'  to  Peregrine 
Spencer,  in  tail  male,  with  rem'  to  Roger  Spencer  and  wife,  with 
rem'  to  the  right  heirs  of  Edmund  Spencer  for  ever.  [Fer- 
guson's MSS.  I.  74.] 

The  eldest  son  of  the  poet,  by  his  wife,  Elisabeth,  was  Syl- 
VANUS  Spencer.  He  married  Ellinor,  dau.  of  David  Nagle,  of 
Monanimy,  by  Ellen,  dau.  of  William  Roche,  of  Ballyhooly. 
He  had  two  sons,  Edmund,  who  died  Sp.,  and  William,  who 
was  heir  to  his  brother,  and  recovered  the  estates  of  Kilcol- 
man,  and  also,  in  1697,  of  Renny.  This  William  had,  by  his 
wife,  Barbara,  a  daughter,  Susannah,  and  a  son,  Nathaniel,  who 
was  of  Renny,  and  died,  having  had,  by  his  wife,  Rosamund 
Bulkeley,  a  daughter,  Barbara,  and  three  (^ous,  Edmund,  Na- 
thaniel, and  John.  Edmund,  the  last-named,  was  born  25th 
Nov.,  1711,  and  married  in  1736,  Anne,  dau.  of  John  Freeman, 
esq.,  of  Ballinguile. 

The  second  son  of  the  poet  was  Laurence  Spencer,  whose 
will  was  dated  in  1653,  and  proved  in  1654,  at  Cloyne.  In  it 
he  is  styled  "  Laurence  Spencer,  of  Camden  Bridge,  Youghal." 
This  will  (I  am  told  by  the  Registrar  of  Cloyne)  is  very  brief. 
The  testator  bequeathes  feather  beds,  and  a  few  legacies  of 
20  shillings  each,  to  persons  whose  names  seem  to  be  Morton 
and  Bathurst.

The  poet*s  third  son  was  Pbbegbinb.  He  married  Dorothy 
Morres,  or  Maurice  [Book  of  Orders  of  CromweH's  Court  of 
Claims,  1654  to  1655,  pp.  213-18],  and  had  from  his  brother 
the  lands  of  Renny.  He,  in  1634,  had  also  the  impropriate 
rectory  of  Athnowen,  Cork,  and  of  Brinny,  He  was  father  of 
HuQOLiNUS  Spencer,  who  married  Ellinor,  widow  of  William 
Roche,  of  Ballymaclauraco,  county  Cork,  and  became  a  Roman 
Catholic,  and  was  outlawed.  He  was  possessed  of  the  impro- 
priate rectories  of  Brinny  and  Athnowen,  and  appeared  for 
them  in  the  Visitation  Books  in  1694.  His  property  was 
granted  to  William  Spencer,  his  cousin,  "as  next  Protestant 
heir."  The  only  child  of  Ilugolino  Spencer  was  Dorothy,  who 
was  wife  of  Pierce  Power,  and  bore  to  him  three  sons — Hugo- 
lin  Power  (who  married  Uonora,  dan.  of  Richard  Barrett), 
Pierce,  and  William. 

In  1640,  June  24,  Thomas,  eldest  son  of  Thomas  Spencer, 
bom  at  Bramlcy,  in  England,  entered  T.C.D.  as  a  Sizar,  being

livings,  worth  £50  per  annum.     [MS.  T.C.D.  P.  2.  18.] 

The  family  of  Robert  Phaire,  one  of  the  persons  to  whom 
was  directed  the  warrant  for  the  execution  of  Charles  I.,  settled 
in  Ireland.  Colonel  Phaire  was  appointed  by  Cromwell  to  bo 
Governor  of  Cork  in  1651;  and  in  1660  was  sent  prisoner  to 
London,  but  saved  his  life  by  means  of  Lord  Clang  arty.  He  was 
afterwards  concerned  in  a  plot  for  seizing  Dublin  Castle,  and 
again  escaped  punishment.  He  died  near  Cork,  and  was  buried, 
as  is  recorded  in  Smith's  Cork  [Vol.  i.,  p.  205],  in  the  Ana- 
baptist burying  ground  in  that  city.

Grange,  and  Elisabeth  Purdon,  of  Bally clogh. 

Of  the  issue  above-mentioned  of  Colonel  Phaire,  three  (Onesi-

Biehop^s  Canning,  near  Devizes,  and  was  the  first  of  the  family 
who  settled  in  Ireland.  Michael  had  three  sons,  of  whom  the 
youngest,  Richard,  was  the  father  of  Sib  Richard  Cox,  Lord 
Chancellor  of  Ireland;  the  second,  Jasper,  was  Alderman  of

Mr.  Carson  seems,  from  the  following  letter  addressed  to 
him  by  Bishop  Bennct,  to  have  required  a  faculty  to  hold 
Clondulane  and  Kilmahon  together.  His  opinion  seems  to  have 
been  highly  valued  by  his  Lordship  on  other  matters.  This 
letter  of  the  Bishop  is  now  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  Carson's 
descendant,  the  Dean  of  Kilmore.  It  is  dated  from  Dublin, 
17  th  March,  1800. 

"  Deab  Cabson, 

"  The  expense  of  a  ^ulty  is  very  serious,  and  the  danger 
of  objecting  to  the  title  by  which  you  hold  your  present  parishes 
not  imminent  at  present,  so  that  I  am  inclined  to  advise  you 
to  wait  till  you  think  you  have  more  pressing  necessity. 

"  The  questitms  you  ask  depending  on  the  union,  and  the 
wording  of  the  Act  of  Union  itself,  make  it  impossible  at  pre- 
sent to  give  a  precise  answer  to  them ;  but  I  apprehend  the 
Irish  laws  previous  to  the  union  will  still  bind  the  Irish  Church, 
unless  expressly  repealed  by  the  Imperial  Parliament.  The 
nature  of  the  connexion  in  the  clerical  line  is  now  before  Sir 
Wm.  Scot  to  give  his  opinion  on  it. 

"  In  order  to  answer  the  latter  part  of  your  letter,  which  I 
fear  I  cannot  do  exactly  to  your  wishes,  I  must,  in  perfect 
dependence  on  your  secrecy  and  honour,  enter  more  than  I  am 
apt  to  do  into  the  plan  I  have  of  disposing  of  Dr.  Atterburys 
preferments,  in  case  it  should  be  my  lot  to  outlrre  him. 

'*  My  intention  has  been  to  separate  the  Chantership  from 


tSO  khjuhov.  [clothb. 

tiie  great  union  of  Clonmell ;  to  settle  Austin  in  the  latter,  and 
Hingston  in  the  former ;  in  which  cajse  the  plan  yon  mention 
of  uniting  Eilmahon,  Ohurchtown,  and  Bohillane,  might  in  time 
take  effect ;  but  of  late  Mr.  Mapletoft  seems  to  have  wished  to 
give  up  Castletown  for  Atterbury's  preferment,  and  then  no 
separation  would  take  place. 

''  But  though  either  of  these  schemes  shuts  the  door  to  your 
advancement,  there  are  other  passages  equally  broad  left  open. 
Dr.  King's  living  was  valued  in  1796,  at  upwards  of  £900;  and  as 
that  preferment  would  be  more  than  equivalent  for  both  yours, 
it  would  probably  be  a  great  object  to  you.  Circumstances 
make  me  wish  at  present  for  two  livings,  such  as  you  now 
hold,  to  dispose  of;  and  though  I  would  not  be  understood  to 
make  an  actual  promise,  the  chance  of  King's  living  furnishes 
an  additional  reason  for  you  not  to  be  too  hasty  in  applying 
for  a  faculty  to  hold  your  present  parishes. 

"  I  feel  happy  in  the  gratitude  you  express  for  such  services 
as  I  have  been  able  to  render  you  ;  and  shall  I  confess  also 
that  I  have  always  thought  myself  obliged  by  your  expressing 
your  dislike  to  my  leaving  the  country  in  1796?  I  wish  we 
had  talked  over  the  reasons  for  and  against  it :  there  were 
many  on  both  sides,  and  I  knew  too  much  of  the  state  of  the 
.  country  for  my  own  comfort — the  same  knowledge  of  which 
poor  Dodge,  so  fotally  for  himself,  partook  with  me.  So  apt, 
however,  is  the  world  to  Judge  by  the  event,  that  the  same 
mouths  which  were  opened  against  me  for  quitting  my  diocese 
in  1796  were  extended  to  the  full  as  wide  against  Bishop 
Stock  for  not  quitting  his  when  the  same  enemy  came  in 
1798.  The  Primate  too,  in  1798,  followed  my  example  in 
quitting  Armagh  at  the  first  report  of  a  landing,  as  did  poor 
Stock  and  his  whole  family  on  the  second  appearance  of  the 
French  frigates  in  the  bay  of  Killalla.  They  knew  by  expe- 
rience to  what  dreadful  distress  they  exposed  themselves.  I 
knew  it  by  anticipation.  Besides,  all  my  money  was  at  Dub- 
lin, and  I  had  a  very  numerous  family  to  feed,  who  were  to 
have  left  the  country  ten  days  after.  I  thought  at  the  time 
that  all  travelling  would  soon  become  impracticable,  as  it  did 
in  1798,  and  that  as  it  was  determined  to  give  up  the  county 
of  Cork  to  the  enemy,  it  was  better  for  me  to  prevent  the 
misery  of  so  terrible  a  retreat,  and  that  ten  days  sooner  or 
later  made  no  difference.  Providence  saved  us ;  and  therefore 
the  world  in  general  blamed  me.  I  have  even  myself  since 
thought  I  was  too  precipitate ;  but  I  doubt  whether  I  should 
have  thought  so  at  the  moment  of  danger.  At  any  rate  it  was 
kind  of  you  to  suggest  your  doubts,  and  I  have  endeavoured  to 
be  grateful  for  the  advice. 

"  1  am,  dear  Sir,  yours  very  truly, 

"  Wm.  Cloyne."

dan.  of  Henry  Yewings  or  Ewens,  of  Oapton,  in  the  parish  of 
Stognmber,  Taunton),  was  bom  in  1584,  and  when  sixteen 
years  old,  matriculated  at  Exeter  College,  Oxford,  on  dlstOct, 
1600,  and  in  1601  was  chosen  Demy,  at  Magdalen  College, 
whence  he  graduated  B.A.on  12th  June,  1603,  and  ]£.▲•  on  13th 
July,  1607. 

Having  resigned  his  Demyship  in  1610,  he  was  ordained 
Priest  by  William,  Bp.  of  Oxford,  on  1st  April,  1612. 

He  was,  from  1612  to  1625,  V.  Dulverton,  diocese  of  Bath 
and  Wells  ;  and  having  resigned  that  living  in  favour  of  his 
brother,  he  became,  in  1627,  Precentor  of  Clojme,  which  he  held 
until  his  death  in  1639.  He  was  also,  from  1628  to  16 — % 
V.  Litter ;  from  16—  1  to  1631,  V.  Ballygoumey ;  from  1632

from  17th  April,  1639,  to  his  death  in  June,  1639,  P.  Oash- 
more,  Lismore. 

He  married,  on  22nd  July,  1613,  at  Walton,  Elisabeth  (dau. 
of  Rev.  Antony  Eaglesfield,  Rector  of  Walton-cnm-street,  Bath 
and  Wells,  and  Prebendary  of  Wells),  by  whom  he  had  issue 
six  sons  and  five  daughters. 

He  died  at  Kilwillan  (RiUavullan),  about  the  6th  Juno,  1639, 
and  was  buried  in  the  church  of  Castlelyons. 

His  relict,  Elisabeth,  suffered  in  the  rebellion  of  1641,  as 
appears  from  the  depositions  now  in  T.C.D.  Library,  from  the 
"  despoiled  and  impoverished  Protestants.'' 

His  eldest  son,  Lawrence,  was  a  "  Comet  of  Horse"  in  the 
garrison  at  Youehal  in  1644,  and  was  one  of ''  the  1649  officers," 
who  signed  the  ilcmonstrance  to  the  Duke  of  York. 

William,  the  second  son,  was  bom  at  Luccombe,  in  England, 
and  was  educated  at  Lismore.  He  entered  T.C.D.  as  a  Fellow 
Commoner,  on  24th  May,  1639,  being  then  eighteen  years  old, 
but  after  his  father's  death  entered  the  army.  He  was  a  Cap- 
tain of  Horse  at  the  siege  of  Bridgewater  in  1644,  and  in 
February  of  that  year  was  mentioned  as  having,  by  his  loyal 
conduct,  defeated  an  attempt  of  the  rebels  to  gain  over  the 
giirrison  by  bribery.  He  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  major ; 
but  being  forced,  with  the  rest  of  the  gallant  defenders  of  that 
]>]aco,  to  surrender  himself  a  prisoner  of  war  in  1645,  he  with- 
drew to  Barbadoes,  with  other  unfortunate  adherents  of  the 
royal  cjiusc.  Major  William  Byam,  at  Barbadoes,  was  "  Master 
of  the  Ordnance,  and  Treasurer  of  the  Island,**  and  soon  after 
was  compelled  to  leave  Barbadoes  for  Surinam,  of  which  place 
ho  was  chosen  Governor,  and  where  he  remained  until  the  Dutch 
dcct  in  1666  took  possession  of  that  place,  which  was  finally 
ceded  to  the  Dutch  in  1667.  William,  now  General,  Bjram, 
next  settled  at  Antigua,  where  he  died  in  1670,  in  the  forty- 
eighth  year  of  his  age,  leaving  three  sons,  for  whom  tide  Burke's
